Criminal cases do not always respect county lines. A family living in Conroe might be stopped in Houston, or a client with an ongoing matter in Montgomery County might face a secondary allegation in Harris County. When a case requires a Harris County courtroom, it is usually better served by a lawyer who is in that specific building week in and week out. When we see that, we say so, and we say who.
Not sure which court handles your case? If you were arrested in the Greater Houston area, you can use this directory of local cities, counties, and courthouses to determine exactly which jurisdiction will file your charges.
In Harris County, that trusted colleague is Sam R. Cammack III.
About Sam Cammack
Sam has practiced criminal law in Houston since 2002. Before building his successful defense practice, he served as a felony prosecutor in Harrison County, Texas, where he presented felony cases to grand juries and prepared them for trial. That foundational experience shows in how he evaluates the State's file: he knows exactly what a prosecutor has, what they are missing, and what they are worried about before walking into the courtroom.
Lawyers who came up on the prosecution side are inherently harder to impress with a charging instrument. A long indictment is merely a claim, not a result. Someone who has drafted indictments reads them differently than someone who has only ever received them.
His firm, Your Houston Criminal Lawyers, successfully handles complex criminal defense in Harris County and the surrounding Greater Houston jurisdictions.
Professional Credentials
Why We Recommend Him
Sam and Jo Ann Linzer were both licensed in Texas in 2002, and have handled the same kinds of high-stakes, complex felony cases ever since. We have also worked cases together as co-counsel, which reveals far more about an attorney's caliber than simply watching them from across the aisle.
He is tenacious. He fights aggressively in the trial courts, commands the law, and actively builds a defense rather than merely reacting to the State's narrative. He thinks his way around problems that other lawyers treat as settled. Those are the reasons his name appears on our site, and the reason a Harris County felony matter is one our office would refer to him without hesitation.
Working a Case Together
Sometimes the answer is not choosing one office over the other. We have successfully worked cases jointly with Sam in the past, and where a complex matter calls for it, we will do so again. We approach the work with the same intensity and dedication. On the right case, a client is better served by the combined resources and strategic insight of both offices than by either alone. Any co-counsel arrangement of this kind is fully discussed and agreed upon with the client in writing before it begins.
Contact His Office
If someone you care about has just been arrested in Harris County, Sam's office maintains an excellent, free database of Harris County jail, bond, and court resources to help you locate an inmate or find a court date. It is worth utilizing whether or not you retain his services.
